Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.

Always leave something to wish for otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.
